This article explores the indispensable roles and responsibilities of healthcare workers on the frontlines of war, where they grapple with the profound challenges posed by conflict. In the midst of decimated healthcare infrastructure, these professionals become pivotal in delivering urgent medical care while facing significant risks. Beyond immediate healing, healthcare workers navigate the psychological toll of war, addressing widespread trauma and limited mental health support.

Despite the extensive occurrence, the promising predictors of R-MI have been elusive within the cohort of survivors. This study investigates and validates the involvement of distinct gene expressions in R-MI and NR-MI.

The induction of this detrimental cascade leads to myocardial and vascular abnormalities. Molecular docking was studied for protein-ligand interaction between these potential targets and resveratrol.

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have revolutionized perioperative care in this field. This systematic review aims to synthesize current evidence on the impact of ERAS protocols on patient-centered outcomes in bariatric surgery.

Dyschromia is among the top diagnoses for POC and sunscreen is first-line management. POC and lower socioeconomic status often face health disparities and are susceptible to having difficulty accessing food, health care, and medication.

Physical systems whose dynamics are governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) find numerous applications in science and engineering. The process of obtaining the solution from such PDEs may be computationally expensive for large-scale and parameterized problems. In this work, deep learning techniques developed especially for time-series forecasts, such as LSTM and TCN, or for spatial-feature extraction such as CNN, are employed to model the system dynamics for advection-dominated problems.

In recent years, MRSA has emerged as a significant public health concern, particularly in hospitals. Intensive care units (ICUs) and burn units are high-risk areas for hospital-acquired MRSA infections, which can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.

However, ED utilization among skin cancer patients has not been evaluated. To assess overall utilization of EDs among skin cancer patients, reasons for skin cancer-related visits, and factors associated with inpatient admission.

The aim of this study is to analyze the: (1) quality; (2) educational content; and (3) reliability of the most relevant YouTube videos on SARMs to explain growing SARMs abuse by recreational and professional athletes.
Methods: 'SARMs' was queried (28 November 2021) through the YouTube video library.
Background: Significant aortic regurgitation (AR) leads to left ventricular (LV) remodeling; however, little data exist regarding sex-based differences in LV remodeling in this setting. We sought to compare LV remodeling and AR severity, assessed by echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), to discern sex-based differences.
Methods: Patients with ≥ moderate chronic AR by echocardiography who underwent CMR within 90 days between December 2005 and October 2015 were included.
